This book brings together the refereed proceedings of the 24th
Annual Conference of the Australian Association of Professional and
Applied Ethics (AAPAE) 'Applied Ethics in the Fractured State',
held at the Institute for Public Policy and Governance, University
of Technology Sydney in June 2017. The book is eclectic, with
chapters on health regulation in Australia, Eastern ethical
theorising (Confucianism; Buddhism), euthanasia and community
engagement, all of which are examined from the unique perspective
that Research in Ethical Issues in Organizations affords its
contributors.
This book is a collective effort on the authors? part to remember
KISS, one of the most important hard-rock bands of the 1970s and
1980s. Influenced by the glam-rock movement which preceded its
rise, arguably KISS was the first major act in rock music history
to present rock music as Entertainment Product firstly and music
only secondarily. We discuss the original, democratic concept of
the Fab Four - Gene, Paul, Ace, and Peter - as well as Gene
Simmons? and Paul Stanley's subsequent American Dream ideology. We
go on to analyse the current version of the band in the light of
the original line-up and appearance. We find that the KISS fan base
is divided with some fans accepting Simmons? current view that the
four personas can be utilized by anyone chosen by the band's
leadership; a second group which tries to correct the alleged
historical injustices committed against Frehley and Criss; and a
third group which is cynical about the current version of KISS but
finds it fruitless to rehash old debates.

This book offers a general introduction to and analysis of the
history, theory and public policy of Australian local government
systems. Conceived in an international comparative context and
primarily from within the discipline of political studies, it also
incorporates elements of economics and public administration.
Existing research tends to conceptualise Australian local
government as an element of public policy grounded in an
'administrative science' approach. A feature of this approach is
that generally normative considerations form only a latent element
of the discussions, which is invariably anchored in debates about
institutional design rather than the normative defensibility of
local government. The book addresses this point by providing an
account of the terrain of theoretical debate alongside salient
themes in public policy.
